Bir Lahlu (Liberated Territories), May 14, 2017 (SPS) - The President of the Republic, Secretrary-General of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali. "strongly condemned" the new aggressive behavior through the presence of the Moroccan forces at 50 kilometers outside the buffer zone, in the territorial waters of Western Sahara between Guerguerat and Lagouira, southwestern Western Sahara, in violation of the 1991 ceasefire agreement no. 1 and the supplementary convention of 1997 signed between the Polisario Front and Morocco under the auspices of the UN.
"We express our condemnation of this new aggressive behavior, which reflects the lack of a real will on the part of Morocco to deal positively in accordance with resolution 2351,approved by the UN Security Council, Just ten days ago," the President of the Republic wrote in a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
The President of the Republic insisted on the new UN SG to take "all urgent measures" to put an end to these dangerous practices and violations of the ceasefire, repeatedly perpetrated by the Moroccan state of occupation, by continuing the civilian activity and the passage of hundreds of trucks through the zone of Guerguerat and the Moroccan navy without interruption on the coast, which is an integral part of the liberated zones of the Western Sahara.
